At the Guzhen stronghold (now between Huixian and Liangdang County, in the ancient road valley), Guo Shao was walking back and forth in a tiled house, and he looked very anxious. On a wooden table full of dirt that could not be wiped off, there was a drawing with folding marks.

The sky outside was dark, and the fires in the camp were shaking, it was already midnight.

"Qingniling Temple was discovered by the Shu army, and everyone was kidnapped." The middle-aged woman who came back kept lingering in his ears.

Time passed by bit by bit, Guo Shao was in a state of confusion and anxious. There was no sound of war around him, and the noise of the battle formation had been calmed for many days, but he was even more nervous and anxious than when he was fighting with the Shu army in Chen Cangdao. When he entered Shu, as Li Chuyun said, the worst result was nothing more than a quick battle and would never succeed. If he did not have enough food and grass, he would retreat; but this time it was not that simple.

After a while, a question and answer between Jing Niang and herself just recently appeared in his mind. He asked: Can Chen Tuan find it? Jing Niang said: It can only be done by chance. I only saw Qingxu last time, which was purely a coincidence. I really didn't expect that I could still know her trace in this life.

Guo Shao tried hard to clean up the clues from the mess.

In the memory of the previous life, Empress Fu should have died early, and then Chai Rong could continue to marry her sister as the queen. How would Empress Fu die? It must have died of illness. The Zhou Dynasty was not dead, Empress Fu was the daughter of Fu Yanqing's family. Who could artificially threaten the Queen's life?

Life and death are fate, but Guo Shao can't watch Queen Fu die. If she dies, she has no hope in this era. It's good to be able to be rich and peaceful. Maybe one day he offended the powerful and powerful person and was hacked to death by the riots during the turmoil. This kind of wealth that has no sense of security makes him very unhappy...

At this time, Guo Shao could feel the most realistic way that he needed her so much! Yes, this need was very real, as if something real could be seen and touched; far away from those unpredictable, dreamlike feelings. Guo Shao's feelings for the talisman at this time were very vulgar, but it was because of the vulgarity that was very real... It was like the sister in her previous life complaining that he didn't know how to be frugal and spent too much money, so that he would not feel any emotional pleasure at all, without any heart or imagination, but such vulgar things could make him feel warm from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, Guo Shao felt that the "young man" had a relationship with the rich and beautiful Fu family, and it was too pale and too naive, but now Fu family is completely different in his heart. He needed Fu family, not only for the sake of realistic benefits, but also for emotional needs... She took care of herself like her sister, and she gave Guo Shao an illusion that she was part of her sister in her previous life, because only her sister in this world would care about her life and death... Of course, her sister is not as powerful and noble as Fu family, and she is a vulgar person.

Queen Fu cannot die!

Want to save her against fate? Guo Shao is not a doctor, he does not understand medical skills at all. There are always a million soldiers in his hands. Who can defeat the disease? He cannot save her personally, so he wants to find someone to save her... The doctor of this era is not good. If so, can the royal family invite a doctor? How can the talisman die?

Guo Shao remembered Fuyaozi Chen Tuan, the Taoist priest who claimed to be half a god who saved him from the pile of dead people. Guo Shao was not sure whether these mysterious gods were capable, but when there was no way out, people would always put their hopes into mysterious things... And Fuyaozi was definitely not the kind of person who called himself a saint who just made a Taoist temple and just called himself a saint; he could save the "dead" people, which was Guo Shao's personal experience.

But it is difficult to find a person like Fu Yaozi, let alone the legendary fact that he is in Mount Emei, which is the territory of Shu Kingdom. Chen Tuan could not find it, but his disciple Qingxu was actually in Qingniling.

Guo Shao's idea was to lead his army to attack Qingniling reinforcements and seize Qingxu from the Shu army.

It is difficult to attack from Qingniling front, probably more difficult than siege. The path of Baishui Road entered Guo Shao's mind. If he could go around the path to attack the Shu army, he would have a greater chance of winning.

When the female Taoist priest of Jingniang was arrested, she might tell the Baishui Road; and that road was also learned from the nunnery. The Shu army should have questioned the Baishui Road... The surprise attack seemed to be unsuccessful. If the Shu army set up defenses on the small road, it would be difficult to break through. According to personal soldiers, several places of the road were too narrow and could only walk alone. If the surprise attack failed, even if it could defeat the Shu army, they would probably flee with Qingxu, or would kill her for a long time.

The anxious Guo Shao took a deep breath, rubbed his temple hard, and returned to the wooden table full of dirt. The map was only marked with Qingniling, and measured it with a ruler, and it was estimated that it was forty miles south of Guzhen; Baishui Road drew a thin line on the west side, but this picture was drawn by Guo Shao himself, so he clearly had no distance, just marking the meaning of a small path.

"Come in." Guo Shao greeted the personal soldiers and middle-aged women who were still standing outside the door.

He asked his personal soldiers: "How much time has it taken to return to Guzhen from Baishui Road and how far is it?"

"We walked for more than two hours, but we should have walked fast, and we should have sixty miles... to the southwest of Guzhen." said the personal soldier. "From Baishui Road, we will walk south for thirty or forty miles, and then we will reach Shu Road. Follow Shu Road and then turn northeast, and then it will be far away, at least seventy or eighty miles to reach Qingniling Temple."

Guo Shao calmed down and listened carefully, then hurriedly marked the picture. Then he asked about the road conditions of Baishui Road.

He thought to himself that as long as he crossed the Baishui Road (60 miles) and then rushed to the Shu Road (30 miles), he could cut off the retreat route of the Qingniling Shu army. After calculation, he would need to rush to 100 miles in one breath... The Shu army went south from Qingniling (80 miles) and then to Baishui Road (30 miles) and the distance was slightly longer.

"When did the nunnery get arrested?" Guo Shao asked.

The personal soldier said: "This afternoon."

Guo Shao thought: It is unlikely that the Shu army reinforcements came to Qingniling to attack. If Shu was so aggressive, he would not have hid in the basin for decades; if the Shu army knew about the Baishui path, it would have sent troops to defend.

If you want to defend, you don’t have to hurry up one or two days earlier. They didn’t know the road so long ago. So Guo Shao judged that the Shu army might not send troops to Baishui Road to set up defense as soon as tomorrow... It would take more than a hundred miles to set out tomorrow morning; if you don’t have to marching in a hurry, the road would be uneven, at least two or three days.

The fighter still exists!

Guo Shao turned around and said, "Send a few more servants to follow you, walk through the path, and inquire about military information along the Shu road to see if there are any large number of people in the southern part of Qingniling to reinforce you. I will remember your contributions."

"Receive the order!"

Guo Shao said again: "Beat the drum and summon the commander and commander to the Central Army Headquarters to discuss matters."

Guo Shao turned around and sat down on the bench next to the wooden table. After a while, the generals arrived one after another, put their swords on the knife stand at the door of the main hall, and then walked into the main hall, standing in a certain order.

"In the southwest of Guzhen, there is a small road that can go around Qingniling and go around Qingniling." Guo Shao said straight to the point, "But today I got the news that our fine works that sneaked into the territory of Shu Kingdom were captured. This road may have been known to the Qingniling Shu army this afternoon. If we march now and rush to a hundred miles, we can cut off the Qingniling Shu army's retreat route and annihilate the troops and horses in Qingniling and go both sides of Qingniling and go together!"

The generals listened silently, and someone asked, "Guo Du, how many troops does the Shu army have?"

Guo Shao said: "There should be only a few thousand people. This is the first batch of reinforcements from the Shu army to arrive."

Seeing that the generals did not react, he was anxious and did not think much. He said without hesitation: "These reinforcements are all imperial guards from the heart of Shu Kingdom. The family is in Chengdu Prefecture, and there are many generals and civil servants. Shu Kingdom has been well-off for decades and is very rich. Let's capture these, and then release them back to Shu Kingdom to blackmail their families... What do you think?"

Yang Biao smiled and said, "Then aren't we doing the job of bandits?"

Guo Shao said: "Shu is an enemy country in war. If you blackmail them, no one will punish us. Unless the emperor of Shu can take care of our Great Zhou imperial guards."

Wang Zhang echoed: "Among the people in the Western Expedition, we rushed forward, but we didn't catch anything. We divided the Fengxiang Army and Zhen'an Army. They occupied the city!"

One after another, some generals began to be moved and said, "I heard that the urinating tools made of gold by the emperor of Shu Kingdom urinating..."

The generals echoed: "We can't do it by bandits? There is no city in Qingniling. As long as we can go over and set up a field battle, we are afraid of who will come, mother, let's do it!"

Li Chuyun stood up and said in a deep voice: "Please think twice."

The First Army Du Hou also said: "Since it is a path, if it is not good, retreating is too slow; rushing is like going deep into the middle of the army... For the sake of external things, a large army needs to consider more."

Li Chuyun said again: "If the lord decides, the last general will be willing to be a vanguard."

Guo Shao pondered endlessly, and he thought the advice of the two generals made sense; this was different from rushing to the mighty city, the retreat was too narrow. But Li Chuyun and others didn't know their own considerations... The relationship between queen, Chen Tuan and others was a mess. Not to mention that everyone didn't know, they couldn't even explain it clearly even if they told them for a while.

Is it necessary to place six thousand elite soldiers in a dangerous place for private matters? Of course not. Guo Shao hesitated rarely.

At this moment, Luo Yanhuan said: "If you want to do it, we will do it, we can trust you!"

Guo Shao gritted his teeth and frowned, "If you are defeated, I will first apologize and be accompanied with my brothers who died in battle on the road to Huangquan! This battle is definitely not an arrangement by the imperial court, nor has it been approved by Wang Jieshuai, the commander of the Western Expedition Army. It is only for me. I cannot force everyone. Those who are willing to go will follow me; those who are unwilling will stay and defend the town. If you get the money, you will have a share, whether it is the person responsible for the offense or the person who defends."
